Light a Penny Candle (16 October 2008)
Ive read this book twice and i loved it, the Characters are lovable! Again Binchy ends the book in a way that leaves you wondering about the Characters future!

Light a Penny Candle (21 July 2008)
This book is fab.. Ive read it twice. A must read giving an insight into Irish Life and humour. Very witty and funny. Recommended.

Heartwarming (03 September 2004)
This book has to be one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. The friendship portrayed within its pages is heartwarming and it is so wonderfully evoked. If there is one thing that Maeve Binchy can do, it is to create character and mood like no one else. You really feel lost when you finish the last sentence.
The only bad thing about this book is that when you've read it, it's over.

One of the few books I would willingly pick up to re - read!!
Read this if you can!!!

Irish life (10 November 2002)
This book reminds me so well of the many holidays - especially Christmasses - that I have spent in Ireland. The descriptions of rural family life are brilliant, and as a solitary English girl whose best friend is the oldest of 7 Irish children, I found the relationship between Elizabeth and Aisling totally convincing. When I first visited Ireland - many years ago now - I was overwhelmed by the difference of it all, the Catholicism, the huge families, the social networks which (as a child of suburban London) I had never experienced. I still love Ireland, and this novel was full of the reasons why. It does deal with issues - domestic violence, divorce, alcoholism - which dispel the myth of Ireland as a utopian paradise, but it still manages to be a really good story, and one which you don't want to end - is there a sequel? I would love to know what happened to the girls in the end.

Unmissable (14 August 2001)
This book shows Binchy at her best. It's warm loving characters make it impossible not to become deeply involved in their lives. I was mortified to read the last few pages, it was like losing a group of friends. The book is fantastic and you will not be able to put it down from the first page.
